Question
My baby is 3 and a half months old and has been exclusively on (Mumil Gold Formula) until now. Recently, the baby has started refusing to drink milk, preferring only breast milk, which is not enough. The baby has been drinking breast milk since birth, but started refusing it last week and continues to do so today. Previous treatment and its effectiveness: No special treatment was given. What kind of help do I need? How can I get my baby to stop refusing milk, and when might it get better?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby might be experiencing some digestive discomfort. I suggest you help your baby with clockwise abdominal massage to increase gastrointestinal motility and aid digestion. It’s also important to ensure your baby eats smaller, more frequent meals, avoids overeating, and drinks warm water to promote metabolism. These are my suggestions for the issue of “my baby who is 3 and a half months old refusing to drink milk.” I hope they are helpful to you, and wish you both health!
